Tour Itinerary

Our optional Air & Ground package provides a convenient arrival. Our charter flight takes you from Keflavik in Iceland to Kangerlussuaq in Greenland. Then we transfer you to the port, where the SEAVENTURE anchors. Embarkation is conducted via our Zodiac boats. Your adventure journey begins in the evening.

  • Flight takes from Keflavik in Iceland to Kangerlussuaq in Greenland

Just 200 people live in the small town of Attu, near Disko Bay. Use the day for a hike through the unique nature and, with a bit of luck, observe the local wildlife up close.

In the morning of day three, experience the mighty Equip Glacier before arriving in Quillissat. Quillissat is an abandoned coal-mining town founded in 1924. Coalmines were active until 1972. With various hikes, you can get to know this city and its breathtaking nature.

 

 
 

We are now approximately 500km north of the Arctic Circle. The small town of Ikerasak, with just under 230 inhabitants, is located near Uummannaq and is considered one of the most beautiful towns in Greenland. If the weather conditions allow it, we go ashore and explore the place.

In the morning, we drive through the Karrat Fjord. With a bit of luck, you can see icebergs calving as we drive through the fjord landscape - an impressive and breathtaking experience. In the afternoon, we anchor in front of Nuugaatsiaq, a place with a tragic history: in 2017, the village was hit by a big tsunami. The place has not been inhabited since then.

Iceland’s East Fjords are best explored from the impossibly picturesque port of Seydisfjordur, nestled between the sea and steep mountains. Optional activities include seal spotting, horseback riding, and visiting the beautiful sights of the Eastfjords.

Many years ago, the town we are visiting today, was a fishing and trading town. Nowadays there are only around 100 inhabitants in the picturesque fishing village.

We are back in Kangerlussuaq in the early morning. Now it is time to say goodbye to the SEAVENTURE. Our charter flight will take you back from Greenland to Iceland in the early evening. Take a look at our Air & Ground package or this tour to enjoy a comfortable journey home.

Please note: Please contact our agent regarding flight arrival time from Kangerlussuaq before you book your return flight from Keflavik.

Tracy Hopes 19 September 2014
Hi! The cruise around Iceland was everything I hoped it would be. On board Ocean Atlantic we felt safe and very comfortable. This trip gave us unforgettable experiences about Icelands wildelife, fantastic landscapes, small towns, local culture and history. The organization on the ship , excursions to the mainland and with Zodiac boats were superb. Thanks for everything. We had so much fun and learned so much during this cruise. Best,

Our expedition cruise circumnavigating Spitsbergen was just fantastic!. Nordic Saga Tours staff prepared us well providing the information on all the details and giving excellent advice. The cruising was exciting, and the ship and its crew were excellent as well. Our cabin was big enough and light, the mattress soft , so sleep was never a problem. Food ranged from good to excellent.There was a lot of fish every day but there was meat as well. The meals are usually adjusted to your preferences. The ship’s crew were very nice and polite of mixed nationality - Norwegian, Danish, English, and spoke good English. The scenery, wildlife were stunning – we came home with tons of unbelievable photos. We would recommend this cruise for everyone who is looking for an extraordinary holiday.
